Apparently the Supersonic Downhill record had to be resubmitted due to it being deleted from the leaderboard unexpectedly. Upon further investigation, I've also noticed that obsoleted runs are not showing correctly, such as them being shoved to the bottom of the leaderboard, and obsoleted times not being displayed. Anyone else notice this, or is it just me?
If there was a category where you have to play one round of any of the "Party Games" modes within the game (Bingo Bash, Lucky Spin or Wild Card), would anyone actually be interested in doing any runs for it?
This might be a new strat, but I'm not sure if it is faster. I was messing around, then I found that, you can go THROUGH a block without losing your barrier or momentum if you're fast enough. Only problem is you need to be going at least 360km/h for this to work, so you'd have to keep hold of your mushrooms. Doing this instead also seems to make you go down the vertical wall significantly faster. Unfortunately not guaranteed every time.

I am testing a strategy on Extreme Snowboarding. Heres how it works:
Go around the course as normal, until you get to the part where the road splits in two with the Chain Chomp. You want to take the left path here. Go down that way, and here's where it gets interesting. There's a guardrail on your left and right, but, if you hit the very end of the wall on the right side, you get warped further ahead, much faster than normal. Why does this happen? No idea, but what I can say is, some characters can't do this zip.
For example, I've tried this with Peach, but to little to no success, but I have been able to get it with Bowser quite easily. The closer to the end of the wall you hit, the further you seem to be warped. This could shave off as much as 2 seconds per lap, plus the fact that Bowser might just be the fastest character in the game, could be enough to take the record lower.
I myself have actually known about this for a long time, but I just thought I'd share it with the rest of you.
Just a heads up, for new runners, when you submit a time on an IL (Individual Level), only in-game time is required. If you submit real time on an IL, this could mess up the leaderboard and put your time in the wrong place on the standings. I've seen a few who have been submitting real time instead of in-game time, so just a reminder that this is not the right way to time an IL.
The world record for Speed Skating 500m is wrong. The claimed record is 28.149 seconds but the real record is 27.832 seconds.
